...
Into Jerusalem, meaning no harm
Lazarus, joyfully risen from death
Singing hosanna, laying leaves of palm
While Jesus is counting, every last breath
The son of man goes to his destiny
In the agony of crucifixion
Giving his life, for the whole world to see
“I am the life and the resurrection”
And what of man, what lesson has he learnt
These two thousand years, give or take a day
The devil waits, failing souls to be burnt
“Do as I do”, not just sit there and pray
Your world full of hate, and you still ask why
I showed you love, and asked each man to try.
...

| So much truth in this, Steve. How sad that hate dominates so much in this world. |

| A good point made in the final couplet of your sonnet, Steve If more people acted for good, then it might outweigh the bad Rose xx |

| Loved your poem, and it is dreadful that after all that sacrifice we are still making a mess of things. Jo x |
